Not as good as expected

This book was not one of Robin Cook's best! It started slowly, progressed mildly then picked up pace about 80% through. The ending was rushed, sudden and not thoroughly worked into the story.

I thought this book was a really great read. I didn't understand a lot of the medical terminology but it really didn't seem to matter. The book was a fast pace very interesting and a page turner. As the reader I felt like I was really there watching all the events unfold. This was one of those kinds of books that you just don't want to put down I will read more from this author

For What It's Worth...

Coma

It is clear that this is written by someone and for folks with good medical knowledge and the author doesn't try much if at all to explain it. I am a bit familiar with some of it so that helps.

Susan is a gutsy young medical student and for some of that, I applaud her. It's her total disregard for higher-ups that has me appalled. It's less than believable that a real-life student would have lasted even the first few hours in training with that disrespect.

The second half of the book is where the adrenaline pumping action occurs. However again, one has to suspend believability in some of the feats that take place. The further along in this book I read, the more it is evident the author has more experience as a physician than as a writer.

Addictive story-line. Robin Cook is one of my favorite authors.

Fascinating story although Robin Cook tends to have an incredible vocabulary which required a nearby Dictionary. Being a surgical R.N. of 43 years I was quickly absorbed in the drama and the possibility the story line might actually occur.

Coma is a fun book to read and explains many aspects of the medical field in detail. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the medical field or enjoys medical fiction.

Didn't like the ambiguous ending.
A little too hokey.
Will see if his other books are better.
Over. Over over.
This stupid thing won't let me off this page!
How much more do I have to write?

A great medical drama. Enough to give shivers and make one thoughtful about surgery and medical procedures.

Go to Kindle library go to Kindle Store I don't want to write a review I want to go directly to a Kindle Store
